Topwater Bass Fishing Lures — Frogs, Poppers & Walking Baits

The Googan Squad topwater lures collection is built for anglers who want explosive, visual strikes right on the surface. Topwater bass fishing lures are some of the most exciting baits you can throw because every bite happens in plain sight, often producing violent blow-ups and aggressive reaction strikes. Our topwater fishing lures are designed to imitate prey struggling on the surface — baitfish, frogs, insects, and small animals — creating splashes, wakes, and vibration that pull fish up from cover.

This lineup covers every major topwater bass lure style: poppers, walking baits, prop baits, buzz frogs, and wake baits. The Blooper is a classic popper, using a cupped mouth to throw water and call fish from a distance. Walking baits like the Hound and Two-Step use a side-to-side "walk-the-dog" action that mimics a wounded baitfish skittering across the surface. The Revolver is a prop bait that churns constant surface disturbance, while the Filthy Frog line covers weedless topwater frog fishing through heavy mats and pads.

When to use topwater lures for bass: topwater fishing shines early morning, late evening, on overcast days, and any time bass are actively feeding near the surface — though a well-placed topwater frog or popper can also trigger reaction strikes from fish holding under shallow cover throughout the day. Match your retrieve speed and lure style to the conditions: slow-rolled frogs over matted vegetation, steady walking baits over open flats, and popping baits worked around docks and laydowns.

Every Googan Squad topwater bass fishing lure is built and tested by anglers who fish these baits themselves. Pair your topwater lure with a Googan Squad Rod and a floating monofilament or braid-to-leader setup for the best surface action.
